PRISON LIFE IN TEXAS.
Capture, Imprisonment and Escape of J. N. Hotcard,
Co. "E," 82 Iotca Volunteers.
UIAITEK III.
We now began to hmk around for
a gfxxl onrtuuity to make our
ina? utt we diil not like the lute, ho
we rL'nizfd a coinianv to make a
tunnel 14-raune tliU txmed the mltmt
way, The tunnel was commenced
in tlie night and innlde of a fihanty.
We roiiiiuenred by digging n"'e
alxiut three feet deep and carrying
the dirt to a hole where a well had
M4n dug. There were also other
jiIuccm or hoi en where dirt had been
. . taken out for the purixwe of daubing
lug cliantiew. Theae furnished good
(lumping placet) for earth takea from
our tunnel. From thin hole In the
tuViri, the tunnel wasstaried
toward
the stockaile, which wax 10 rods
away, It waa dug 10 feet the find
night, one man working at a time
w ith a buteher knife and half of a
c-Miiteen. lie placed the dirt in a
Mark. A man junt behind took it and
pit-tied to another who in turn hand
ed it to a third. Thus from man to
man It went till it wax out of the hole
It was a tediouu nh but wan complet
ed in three weeks. We went to oien
It the night following its completion,
hut a Judas in the rominw discov
ered the mines to our guard. He
could not withstand the temptation
to profit by let raying hi comrads u
there was an inducement for any one
who would report attempts to escape;
they would give a parol of honor.
They would lie allowed to stay on the
outside and to pass around camp al
leisure, the guard came in and caused
the hole to Is) tilled up. Then we
commenced another way by which
means there was several of the boys
escajied. It was accomplished In this
way there w is a cart that was -al
lowed to 13 kent for the purixMO of
hauling dirt and rubbish out of (-amp.
In this cart two men could lay down
sidu by side then the dirt would I
thrown on them until they were
completely ; covered up then
taken out side and dumped with the
rent of the rubbish. In this way J
was going to try to get out, there
was two of them went out and I was
going the next loud but they were
detected and brought back and
placed in the guard house, so you see
I failed. It seemed that I was
doomed to stay there 1 failed in
every attempt. By this time my
money was all gone and I had to re
sort to some, means to make a living
so wc bought aome cow horns and
went to work making combs and
tooth picks. These things we would
trade for anything that we could eat.
HomclimcH we would work all day
making a comb and trade it oh at
night for a sweet potato or a pint of
meal.
I was very anxious to send a let
ter to my father, I know he would
he very anxious about me, no chance
ollered for several months, but Anally
there were aome chaplains who had
leen captured and were sent home.
With one of tlicno chaplains I sent a
letter to my cousin who lived in Il
linois, as I didn't know where my
father was for he had moved to Ne
braska. I knew that my cousin
knew where he was. This letter was
written on a piece of very coarse
brown paKr, I had no pencil so 1
had to make me a pen out of a stick.
I made some Ink from maple bark
by boiling it in water. This letter
was a curiosity to my friends and wa
read by all the neighbors, then aeut
to my father. Until thia time my
father thought I was killed in latt
tle as it was so reported in the pajH rs.
About this time there was a great ex
citement iu the rebel camp liecaust
Price was about to start on his last
raid to the Mississippi river. They
took all the troops away from the
prison that they could spare.
When all was proju-rly organized
they started off with the idea that
they were going to drive all the blue
coats out of the country West of the
Mi.-edtdppi river, but they failed to
accomplish the work that they ex
pected to do and they had nothing
to say when they returned, we joshed
then in a way they didn't like. Out
hoys would frequently feel in a mood
to sing patriotic songs to them, this
they didn't like. We were always
too much for them in a contest of ban
ter and ridicule.
Another time they were sold out
very Iwdly. There was a pilot of one
of our vessels who was captured with
us. he had his little hoy with him
and there was a little rolx'l who was
of the same age. The little rebel
sent a challange to our little pilot to
fight. The father was son.su I ted in
regard to the matter and his reply
was that if the boy could have a fair
chance he might fight the rclwl.
This the guard said he could have so
the rebel formed a ring on the out
side. The prisoners did the
same, on the inside the boys
took their staliiMt In the gste
way and commenced their work.
They stood square to one another for
some time striking like men but
they got tired of that and clinched.
After wrestling a whileour little man
threw his antagonist and pounded
him until he was satisfied. I never
lefore heard such yelling and cheer
ing or saw such throwing of hats in
the air over so small a thing, the
guards walkrdswsy with nothing to
miy. I
About this time sll the prisoner
that were wounded at PUtwant hill ,
were brought In and swelled our i
iiumlier to 6000.- Among the rent I
was Mr. Irwin, the man I tried to ,
assist when he was shot in the neck.
The poor fellow suffered untold agony
and nearly died. I did not think he
could live but he was with me now
in the prison. To get him home to his
friends waa my pleasure as well as
desire. It bad been rumored that
there was to be an exchange of pris
oners to take place soon and we were
in great hope that our time of stay
ing there waa nearly at an end. Well
the paroling officers came that
evening which fact waa noLied around
la the prison. This news was too
good to credit but we took courage,
so much so that we hardly slept that
night. In the morning we soon
j dMtud oui iimt there was oniy two
hundred to he paroled and who
it was we did not know but soon
found that It waa those that had been
(here longest. Home of them hail
la-en there for more than a year, the
r 1 1 .!!-. I I . ... I -
They could not believe that they
would lie exchanged since they had
been promt! this before and were
taken to Red river a distance of one
hundred milos, where they expected
n meet our boats to take them home.
Orcat was their sorrow when they
found no Ismts there the exchange
had played out and they must go
liack to the prison.
It was in the winter, some of them
were bare-footed. Their feet were
vervsore and hleedlnir. These hivs
Oelonged to the 18 lowa-a grand
--- --
Id regiment and I was more than
glad to see them go but I was des-
lined to remain there still, no telling
how long. There were two of these
laivs who were staving with the first
Iowa calvery of whom I have sjatk
la-fore, as they were worthy of
mention although I was not acquaint
ed with them but had talked to one
of them two or three times.
After this exchange took place,
John I)od came to my quarters and
(old me that he would like to have
me go and live in the shanty with
them as two of the boys had gone and
that I could bring one of the liest
boys we had in the company with
me. I thanked him and said that 1
would sH-ak to the rest of the boys
alsiut it. I thought 1 would go and
let him know that evening but not
then as I did not want to abruptly
leave my own comrads and go off
with strangers but when I spoke to
them about it they all told me to go
that they would like the chance ol
getting out of the storm themselves
and for me to go. I found them
very agreeable company.
Hickness became very bad in camp
I went every day to see the boys,
One day I found (leorgo Williams,
one of my company very poorly, he
had been sick for several days and I
was uneasy alxiut him. The next
morning I saw him walking down
to meet me. As he approached I
said "how do you feel this morning?"
"I feel very poorly but I lx?lieve if I
had some wheat bread I would get
well," I though "poor boy you won't
last long" I tried to bide my feelings
but coundn't, the boy turned around
and walked off towards his quarters.
i mougni men or some oread or a
kind of crackers that I had prepared
in case i snouid make my escape
which I was continually trying to do.
I called him back and gave him
thone crackers. He took them w ith
him. The next morning he came
back. I said, "how are you thi;
morning?" "Well, I feel better; 1
think I will get well, but If it had
not ls"en for your kindness In giving
me the crackers, I should have died."
He got well and went home to hi:
friends. I saved many others in the
same way. The hoys all knew who
to come to In time of trouble. 1
will describe another act of cruelty.
I had Ixs'n to hear a sermon preached
hy one of the prisoners. Alter meet
lug was over, I went to see some f
the Imy. Sitting on the ground, we
talked for an hour. There were
three of us together. We had out
hands locked over our knees while
talking. The guard drew up his gun
ind shot Mr. Shoemaker threw the
hand and knee, the ball ting
threw the txiwels. The poor boy fell
to the ground, then tried to rise, but
fell back and wallowed in his blood
as a hog tlorn when he is stuck,
enduring all the agony immsginable,
He lived two hours and died. While
he was suffering in this way the
oflieer in command rode his horse
through the crowd of prisoners that
had collected together, swinging his
revolver. He nxle up to the dying
man and cursed him for disobeying
orders, which was a falsehxx as he
hud broken no regulation. He wasan
honest straight forward man and a
gixxl I'bristian, being a niemlier of
the Baptist cnurch. The guare that
shot him made this remark: "I will
get a furlough for that," and he was
immediately taken off duty and was
never seen mere again, an you see
our liyes were in Jeporady all the
time as we were liable to be taken
out any lime and shot for retaliation.
About this time some of the boys
were being guarded out after wimnI.
While out one of the guards drew
his gun, and shot one of the boys
down witheut any excuse whatever
on'y they would always get a
furlough and be allowed to go home.
Kig,t here 1 mske mention of two
b,,yg that had made their em-spe, but
Wfn. revs pi u rod and brought hack,
x great penalty w a attached to a
per,,, wno tried to make his
escape and was caught. For punish
ment they were tied by the thumbs
to the limb of a tree so that their toes
barely touched, for an hour, then
were turned back la the prison with
the rent of us. Time panted on In
thia way until tho first of November,
when there was another exchange to
be made. As before slated, I was
greatly distppointed, and was des
tined to remain where I was, no tell
ing how long, but the first Iowa boys
were exchanged and marched out of
camp, bidding us good bye. They
left me with a heavy heart, in fact I
really felt home-sick, as it was the
first time that I had evwr been under
guard, but here I was with the
enemy all around me with loaded
guns and holding me fast.
After those prlsouers were gone we
were allowed to go out aide under
guard and cut timbers to make win
ter niiurttrs, now we had to do this
work for ourselves. After the tim
ber was cut we were furnished a team
and wagon to haul it. We went to
wor aud uiiiii the stiAUlien, i-ovtrwJ
them with clapboard, made a fire
place in It and made It as comforta
ble as possible. There were of us
living together.
By this time our clothing liad
worn out. In .ft'A.JVft .MlluB&FMy
keep our garments together. Many
took their hats to mend the seat ol
their pants. The tail of the coat
would be taken to patch their pants
but finally our government sent us
snnie blankets and other clothing a
great plenty but of course they had
to iass through the hands of the
relajls before they came in our hands.
The result was the reb got the most
The next morning after the clothing
came the rebel iruard came out with

about the same. We kept ourselves
busy making combs, tooth picks and
I.i .... tlf.ll Al J
''"If "s tM WW " we
could do to
keep from starving, material for
making these things was scarce and
hard to get. The backs of guttacr-
cha combs were very valuable as we
worked them up into finger rings and
there waa a cane of the same mater
ial that was made into rings and
brought $7".
The first of February there was a
call for cooks and waiters on the sick
boys at the hospital. The doctor in
attendance belonged to my regiment
and as he was a friend of mine he
called on me. I told him that I
could not bare to see the hoys suffer
and die as they did there. He sug'
gested that I might cook for them.
I accepted this olfer, aud went out to
the hospital. There I fared better as
I could go aome distance from the
camp to gather greens for the sick.
Of course I was out on pa roll of honor
or I should have improved theoppor-
tunity and started for nod's country.
I would gather a sack of greens, go
back to camp and boil them with a
very small allowance of pork. This
with a small piece of corn bread
was a dainty dish for the sick. Now
my readers I would like to picture
the terrible suffering of this place. I
still look back to it with horror.
There were men that, but a short
time before, were strong who bid fair
to see their four score years were now
a walking skeleton. I could span
their thigh with my hand and still
they were walking around, in fact
these men looked more like monkeys
than human beings.
The moaning of the sick and dying
was constant day and night. I
know I fail in my attempt to describe
the suffering of those sick and starved
prisoners. The attendants on the
sick lived in shanties some distance
from the hospital. In one of those
shanties lived some of the (itli Kan
sas. I saw one of these !ys suffer
ing with sore eyes it seemed that
he was entirely iiiimi, hut as sore
eyes were so common i thought
nothing of it, but in a short time I
was attacked with sore eyes. I com
menced to doctor them with such
remedies as we had at hand hut all
I did gave no relief. I had nothing
to doctor them with but flax seed for
Kiltices. Finally the (lax seed gave
out and there was no more to Is? had.
In this strait I had to resort to other
remedies and I made a Hulticeof the
bark of a IwsswimnI root. This I ap
plied to my eyes Just lie fore laying
(town at nigni. i kuiiiu my eyes
got asy and I fell asleep and sleit
an nigni, sometning i had not done
for a week, in fact they were so bail
that I could not bear the light to
shine on them. The next mornimr
the inflammation subsided so much
that I could see without pain. I still
kept on useing the hasnwood poul
tice until the ii.fVimiiiMi n seemed en
tirely gone. Yet they were in a bad
condition. When I found that this
remedy had done so much good for
me 1 hap'ned to think of the blind
hoy living with the sixth Kansas.
I went trlhe!mnty which whs some
distance off. I found him there all
alone, tho other boys having gone
out. I said good morninr to him he
tried to look up but .'ould not see as
he whs entirely blind hut he turned
his head toward me and said : good
morning. I said, M see you have
sore eyes." He made answer: "I
have, very bail eyes," I told him I
had sore eyes but they were better
now. I then asked him what reme
dies he had been useing. I found
he had been useing the same reme
dies that I had except the Isvwwood.
I then told him what I had done,
and also promised to get him a poul
tice. I procured the poultice for him
and fixed It ready to apply. He
warned very grateful to me for the
interest I had taken in him.
Kver since I had been a prisoner I
bad been trying to devise'sonie plan
to make my escape. I had been
there now over one year and still no
prorpect of evej" getting away,
While thinking thus one of my com
rads Packard by name came out of
the orison with a sick man to the
hosoital. Packard told me that he
had found a Union man that was on
guard who had been pressed into
the rebel service and he would let
him out if he would rik the other
guard. Packard tuld him he would
think of it during the day and if he
made up his mind to go he would go
at ten o'clock that ri?ht. He told
me of his proKect of getting out.
Jewitt, another comrade, and myself
proffered to go with him, although
we knew that it was a hazardous
undertaking. We made up our mind
to "get out of that place or die in the
attempt."

Washday b.w terrors for the (Swed
ish servant girl. And no wonder,
for In the Lmd of the altinlgt-.t sun
washday is almost aa important as
moving day U in this oountry. It

membering how much work it ia to
wash clothes in Sweden, i dismay
ed when sho is told that esarr.
day ia washday. It even ia asserted
that rumors of thia reaob (Sweden
and keep girls from ooruitig to this
oonntry. They oannot grasp the idoa
that stationary tubs, washing ma
ebines and wringers work miraolea
on washday, says the New York
Press.
It is a diffloult and intricate under
taking to have your washing done
in Sweden. That ia why well to do
people have washday oooe a month
and poor people rub out their clothes
onoo a fortnight. Not that they
wear soiled garments, though, for
they ohangn three or four timea a
week and store the dirty clothes in
great obesta, wbloh are built into
the attio for that purpose. At the
end of each month the .wash is
brought down and sorted out, aooord
log to quality and oondition. Then
the real straggle begins. Five or six
women, professional washers, oome
In and begin to soonr and rub. Each
pieoe is put through this proooea in
three separate waters. Then they
pour boiling water on the white gar
ments 13 times in suooession, and
finally let them lie overnight in a
weak lye made by pouring water
through a bag containing soap and
wood ashos.
The next morning the tubs are
placed on a slodgo and drawn by a
horse to the publlo washhouse.
There the women take garment aft
er garment and beat it with a pad
dle, holding it with one band in a
trough, through wbloh flows a
stream of water. The wash is then
put book into the tubs and hauled
home. Two men now corns in to
help, and the work of bluing and
rinsing begins. A great tub, 0 or
7 feet In diameter, is filled with
indigo -water. One man takes bis
plaoe beside to turn the Immense
wringer, and the other stands ready
to oarry the tubs of clothes to the
attlo. Clothes rarely are dried in th
open air in Sweden. Housewives art
too tidy there to run the risk of aa
extra spook of dust.
V hen the olotbes have dried, they
are beulod away again to be ironed.
The women who oome in to do the
washing usually are the wives of
those who keep the Ironing house,
so that all the business is kept in
the family. From the ironers the
washing ooines home as smooth as
the oheek of a summer girl and so
white it makes you think of a snow
drift, while its fragrance is like that
of sweet spring flowers. It la a tedl
ous and expensive proooss to got
your clothes washed in Sweden, but
when you receive them again tbey
are free from the odor of fried ham
or opium fumes so well known to
the nose of tho people here. Chica

TImm Fairy StorlM.
It is a peculiar belief among the
youngsters of many families that
the new baby sister or brother is the
graolous gift of tho family pby
aioian, and thia belief ia generally
based upon the solemn assuranoe of
papa and mamma, who have to tell
some fairy story in order to tide
over those events that occur occa
sionally in the best regulated fam
ilies.
Now and then a boy takea the law
into his own hands and makes
mess of it. An Instance of this kind
was related at the last meeting of
the medical society.
It seems that the young son of
well known merchant and tho young
son oi a wen Known doctor were
very chummy, and the latter aooom
panied the former one afternoon on
an advertising expedition. The ad
wprtising was done by mosns of a
paint brash being quickly traced
over any smooth piooe of wood or
stone encountered and called upon
the male population to purchase
their trousers from Brown. Well, In
the evening the doctor s hopeful re
turned, and his paternal derivative
asked him what he had been doing
during the day.
"Advertising," qnoth the boy.
"Advertising whom?" inquired
the father.
"You and Mr. Brown" (theroer-
chant)
"Me?"
"Yes."
"How did you advertise me?"
"Oh, we fixed up a sign tkat snid.
'Buy your trousers from Brown and
your babies from I)r. Jones,' " said
the boy calmly.
The doctor gaspod tor breath.
thinking tlint the boy was having
undue fun with him, but be soon
found out that his hoim aud joy wss
tolling the truth, ami it cost liiui
money the next day to go over the
boy's route and rub out all the ad
vertisements. Kansas City Journal.
